Mumbai, Sep 22 : Businessman and socialite
Siddharth Mallya moves around in Bollywood circles, but he says he is
not interested in entering the film industry as he does not understand
it.
"I do not see myself getting into Bollywood. I have no offers
on the table or no interest as of now to get into Bollywood," the
25-year-old said here Friday at the launch of NDTV Good Times' "Hunt for
the Kingfisher Calendar Girl".
Siddharth, son of industrialist
Vijay Mallya and owner of
Indian Premier League franchise Royal
Challengers, flaunts an English accent. But he says that isn't a barrier
for his entry into showbiz.
"I don't think language seems to be a
barrier anymore in getting into Bollywood. It's not the language
barrier, it's just something I don't think I will enjoy doing.
"I
haven't grown up in India, I don't watch Bollywood films, I don't think
I have the sensibilities to make it in Bollywood and I don't think the
audience will enjoy watching me on screen. I could be completely wrong,
but that's just the way I see it," Siddharth said.
Siddharth was earlier in a relationship with
Deepika Padukone.
Meanwhile,
he is ready to make his small screen debut as the host and co-judge on
"Hunt for the Kingfisher Calendar Girl", which is a search for a
suitable model to feature in the famed annual calendar.
"It's a
superb platform, not just for girls who want to be in Bollywood, but
girls who want to be models as well. I don't think it has done anyone
any harm being in the calendar in the last 11 years," he said.
"If
you see the sort of names that have come out of the calendar -- Lisa
Haydon and Nathalia Kaur were in it, Deepika (Padukone) was in it,
Nargis (Fakhri), Yana Gupta and the list goes on and on. I know it's
something lot of girls aspire to (be a part of) and want to be involved
with," he added.
